[Intro] Across the sea Black ships I long for You I long for [Verse 1] Wa-ka Ka-ka Ran-ka I don't even know Just let it all blend On a foreign wind that crossed the sea One Shagiri note rings through the air Ah… it's almost here again Autumn in Nagasaki [Verse 2] Beyond the hill the city starts to stir One golden pearl rises through the sky Behind it twists the shadow of a dragon To the right to the left crawling through heaven Ah… I've waited so long Ja-odori Ja-odori Let the dragon dance across Nagasaki skies [Pre-Chorus] Hear the Shagiri Feel the drums beating in my chest I can't stay still… Not with that RHYTHM… [Chorus] KOKKO-DESHO! KOKKO-DESHO! Lift it to the sky and steal my breath KOKKO-DESHO! KOKKO-DESHO! Hear the voices shake the town Suwa's stone steps burn with heat Once again my heart runs wild Don't let it end yet MOTTE-KOI! MOTTE-KOI! [Verse 3] When the Kara-fune passes the wind begins to change On the treasure ship good fortune comes to dance Kawa-fune races through the flying spray Hon-odori turns with elegant sleeves Wa too Ka too Ran too All breathing together in one town This is Nagasaki A Waka-Ran town Maybe not knowing is just right [Bridge] When the Shagiri rides upon the wind Something in my heart falls into RHYTHM The dragon chases after the moon Higher! KOKKO-DESHO! Higher! MOTTE-KOI! MOTTE-KOI! MOTTE-KOI! [Final Chorus] KOKKO-DESHO! KOKKO-DESHO! The dragon dances over Nagasaki Flutes and drums refuse to fade RHYTHM Hills and cobblestones begin to dance Wa-ka Ka-ka Ran-ka Who knows? Maybe we don't need to know Not knowing feels just right… Everything we love melts into one This is Nagasaki This is Kunchi in autumn [Outro] Across the sea Black ships I long for You I long for The Shagiri slowly fades away Mada yo… Mada… Don't go…
